Bluetooth Boom Headset

Summary: Do Not buy Nokia HS-4W
Review: I bought the Nokia HS-4W Boom Headset

This Nokia Headset is horrific.

I use the Nokia 6230
The headset disconnects/loses its connection with the phone all the time so when the phone rings I have to answer from the phone since the ear piece just won't respond
Voice recognition only works if I touch a key on my cell phone.
It lowers the volume of the phone automatically by half when it does respond.
Sometimes it even produces some horrific noise.

In conclusion DO NOT BUY this product.

Summary: Problem with HS-4w
Review: I bought the Nokia HS-4W Boom Headset.
It worked for 10 days, and I had the same problem that Itai Lustgarten "remeraz" (Israel) had. However, I took it to a local technical service store, and they fixed it. Has worked without problems since. They said that a cable was loose.

Summary: Not bad, a decent performer.
Review: It is a stylish, one piece design, lay flat in the pocket, of a bluetooth headset.

I've been using Bluetooth headset for about 4 years now; Motorola is OK but short talk and standby time. Sony Ericsson is pretty good, but not too sturdy. Jabra has a charger loose connector problem. Nokia? So far, so good.

Mind you, bluetooth headset provides only a paired connection to the cell phone, the rest is performed by the phone; if a phone has voice dialing, than you can use it to do voice dialing, just make sure it is enabled on the phone. Once it is enabled, the button on the headset acts as the call/hang up button on the phone.

My Sony Ericsson S700i does not have re-dial voice command, but this Nokia headset can send 2 beeps to have the phone perform such function, not bad!

One good thing about this headset is that it will connect to the nearest previously paired phone without re-pairing again like the other headset. That is good if you have 2 or more phones with bluetooth like I do. I paired each phone individually with the headset, and carry only one phone at a time, but always carry the headset, and I can use it with either phone without pairing again.
